Dissolving Brass surrounded by Aluminum

I have a broken off brass needle stuck in a caste aluminum hole. (It’s the pilot mixture jet on a carburetor). I was wondering if there was a chemical that would dissolve the brass while not reacting to the aluminum. Thank you!

Previously I’ve tried:

  • using thermal expansion and contraction to loosen it
  • attempting to poke it out
  • using an air compressor to blow it out

Thanks!
